摘要

从瓦努阿图其他地方来到维拉港的移民和他们迁入地的传统土地所有者就土地保有权达成协议。然而,土地可能具有多重含义,既可能支持也可能削弱达成持久协议的努力。我们将模糊性和城市不稳定性的概念应用到瓦努阿图的土地上,认为瓦努阿图人为了实现自己的各种利益,延续并协商了多种含义,有时甚至是相互矛盾的含义。通过对移民和传统土地所有者的访谈,我们展示了人们如何从允许多种叙事共存的社会环境中获益,即使这些叙事看似相互矛盾。然而,这种模糊性人类学表明,它如何也能为争端的发生和有权势者的控制创造新的途径。

Overlapping Land Tenure Stories: Ambiguity in Port Vila's Urban Precarity

Overlapping Land Tenure Stories: Ambiguity in Port Vila's Urban Precarity

Migrants to Port Vila from elsewhere in Vanuatu and the customary owners of the land to which they move make agreements about land tenure. However, land can hold multiple meanings which can both support and undermine attempts to create durable agreements. We apply concepts of ambiguity and urban precarity to land in Vanuatu, which itself is already polysemic, to argue that ni-Vanuatu people perpetuate and negotiate multiple, sometimes contradictory meanings, to fulfill their various interests. Drawing on interviews with migrants and customary land owners, we demonstrate how people can benefit from a social context that allows for multiple narratives to coexist, even when they appear to contradict each other. However, this anthropology of ambiguity shows how it can also create new ways for disputes to occur and for powerful people to assert control.
